Chicken Thighs With Smoked Paprika
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will prevent the chicken from sticking and make cleanup easier.
3
In a large, airtight container, combine a blend of spices including paprika, garlic, ancho chile powder, salt, turmeric, and black pepper. Add a healthy dose of olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the mix, stirring until everything is well combined.
4
Add your chicken thighs to the spice mixture and use your hands or a spoon to work the seasonings into the meat. This will help distribute the flavors evenly and ensure that your chicken is infused with all the delicious aromas.
5
Place the marinated chicken in the prepared baking dish and drizzle it with a generous amount of melted butter. This will add richness and flavor to your dish.
6
Place the chicken in the oven and bake until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (or 74 degrees Celsius, if you're using metric). You can check the temperature by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a thigh.
7
Once your chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with any remaining pan drippings. This will help keep your chicken moist and add extra flavor.
8
For an added layer of crispiness, place the chicken under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. This will give your skin a nice, golden-brown finish.
9
Finally, garnish your dish with some fresh parsley and serve hot.
